Sushi lovers can unite over this hands-on Japanese cooking class in NYC! You'll enjoy raw fish, nigiri, sashimi, and sushi. This sushi cooking class delivers a Japanese culinary experience like none other, and we're inviting you to try your hand at artfully preparing the best sushi you've had to date!
Our experienced chef, will help you focus your efforts on crafting Japanese dishes that taste great and look impeccably delicate and artsy. This class focuses on both modern Japanese food and sushi rolls that are Americanized.

Within this multi-course sushi-making experience, you'll learn the importance of patience as you harness delicate techniques to perfect hand rolling and stuffing sushi rolls.

You'll spend time understanding the origin of classic Japanese dishes before laying the foundation to acquire excellent presentation skills, which is an essential aspect of any Japanese meal.
Have trouble using chopsticks? Not to worry! Our chef will teach you the proper way to eat Japanese food as he educates your team on Japan's history and rich culture, and Japanese cuisine. Even total beginners will feel comfortable in this culinary experience!
End the night by enjoying your artful creations with your group. You'll appreciate the effort put into your dinner with every bite! Take home the skills to create custom sushi rolls at home and a greater appreciation for this excellent dish.

  • 5/5 from Mary O'Sullivan, attended Aug 2025: Great class! So much fun!! Can’t wait to try to replicate at home!!
  • 5/5 from Jaclyn Deluca, attended Jun 2025: Amazing sushi making class with Chef Danny and Chef Armando! There were snacks and an open bar upon our arrival, as well as aprons to wear! We got to fry our own tempura veggies and shrimp. We then saw a demo for miso soup, hands on sesame chocolate chip cookies and finally our own sushi rolls and sashimi! The instructors were really sweet and patient with questions we had! I really enjoyed this class and will definitely be coming back.
